AN ESTIMATE OF FEBRUARY.

..a ..".. H-.' -
Ono of the Periods of Henthonish Weather
Tint Drive. Man to Deviltry.
Charles Dudley Warner In ~lfarNr's.
The month Of February in all latitudes
in the United States is uncertain. The
birth OF George Washington in it has not
raised it in the public esteem. In the
North, it is a month to flee from in tho
South, at best 1t ia a waiting month-a
month OF rain and tickle ekies. A good
deal has been done Tor it. tits the month
Of st. Valentine, it is distinguished By the
ieap.year addition OF aday, and ought to
be a favorite OF the gentle sex ; but it re.
mains u sort Of of period in the year. A
month Of rigid weather is supposed to
brace up the moral nature, and month
Of gentleness ia supposed to soften the as
peiities Of disposition. but February cor.
tributes to neither Of these ends.
. February, however, is merely an illus
trasion Of the effect Of weather upon the
disposition. Persons differ in regard to
their sensitiveness 10 cloudy, rainy and
gloomy days. We recognize this in a
general way, but the relation Of temper
and disposition to the weather has never
been scientifically studied. Our obserra-
ton OF the influence OF climate ia mostly
with regard to physical in6rmitie5. We
know the effect of damp weather upon
rheumatic', and of the east wind upon
equity subjects, but too little allowance il
made for the influence OF weather upon
the spirits and conduct OF men. We
know that a long period Of gloomy
weather leadH to suicide, and VIC observe
that lo~ng.continued clouds and rain beget
'.crosanees" and ill.temper, and we are
all familiar with the universal e1hilara.
ton Of sunshine and clear air upon any
company Of men and women.
But the point the Drawer wiehea to
make is that neither society nor the law
makes any allowance for the alterations
Of human nature caused by dull and un-
pleasant weather. And this Is very singu.
lar in this humanitarian age, when excuse
is found for nearly every moral delin-
quency in hereditary or environment,
that the greatest factor Of d%iBcontent and
crookednesa, the weather, should be left
out OF consideration altogether. The rela.
ton OF crime to the temperature and the
uulululbJ VI - osulOopiCiG 10 HUI khhSu
into account. Yet crime and eccentricity
Of conduct are very much tho result OF at
mospheric conditions, since they depend
upon the temper and the spirit OF the com.
munity. Many people are habitually
blue and down.hearted in sour weather.; a
long spell Of cloudy, damp, cold weather
dep,esses everybody, lowers hope, tends
to melancholy; and people when they are
not cheerful are more apt to fall into evil
ways, as a rule. than when they are in o
normal state OF good humor.
And aside from crimes, the yexation,
the friction, tho domestic discomfort in
lie are provoked by bad weather. We
should like to have homo STATISTICS as to
incompaiibility between married couples
produced by damp and row dsys, and to
know whether divorces are more numer.
Gus in the States that suffer from a hckle
climate than In those whore the climate is
more equable.

at 2 100000 bushels, which were chiefly
taken by tho Roman market. History
otfera no satisfactory explanation as 10 the
Introduction OF wheat into Britain, but III
Europe 1t WAS probably cultivated previ.
GUS to any reliable records, The ancient
Britons were known to have planted their
wheat In tue spring, however, and scarcity
OF grain meant famine 10 the people long
after the reign Of Queen Elizabeth. Bad
hsrvests were followed by e~xorbitant
prices. While Edward I. WAS on the
throne the price iluc!ua.ed between IL
pence and E20.
The Spaniards are credited with grow.

the Island OF Isabella In l49i. II was
sown In January and harvested on March
80. A slave OF Uortez carefully cultivated
three or four grains OF wheat in 1880 in
Mexico. while Goswold sowed tho first
wheat In America on Chuttyhuak, ono OF
the Elizabeth Islands in Buzzard'a Bay, In
1902, when he first discovered the coast.
Virginia farmers raised wheat Buccessful-
ly from lGll to 1913, when tobacco was
lound TO BIO q moro profitable crop, and
the cereal was practically abandoned by
them for nearly n hundred years. Early

colonies were able to market a satisfactory

been psid to the cultivation OF wheat In
New England, and the Yankee States pro-

their annual consumption.
The growth Of the country may DO
measured by corresponding development
OF the wheat production and traffic until
their importance was generally ~recogniz,d
toward the close Of the first quarter OF the
present century. Our exports became sig.
niGcantly large during The season OF 1920
81. In 1916, 1887, 1888 and 1899, on the
other hand, our yield OF wheat was 80
light that free importations Of grain wero
made from Holland, Germany and Eng
land. For the came four yeara, neverthe.
less, 1880 bushels OF wheat wero tx.
ported from the United States to Other
countries. This was done at a profit, as
the deficiency was made up by cheaper
grain being brought here from abroad.
there are no we'll authenticated and com.
plete records Of Jul export trade previous
to 1921. From that date to the present
time the growth and changes Of our for.
